About: Bath & Body Works is a specialty home fragrance and fragrant body care retailer operating under the Bath & Body Works, C.O. Bigelow, and White Barn brands. The company generates most of its business in North America, with just 5% of sales from international markets in fiscal 2023. For fiscal 2023, 74% of sales stemmed from the brick-and-mortar network (which was composed of more than 1,800 retail stores), similar to 2022 levels, as consumer shopping patterns remained to normal. Future growth is expected from store reformatting, digital and international channels, as well as adjacent category expansion.
